BIRDS WITH BROKEN WINGS...with respect for music
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 7:29 pm
A brilliant music site with fine d/ls of OOP and rarely played music....before it is forgotten....there is a veritable book full of great stories and interviews, artist bios, and a wealth of OOP d/ls if you click on each album title. Just keep clicking on the various sidebar subjects....
BIRDS WITH BROKEN WINGS
'As a musician and former major market radio DJ who feels defeated by an industry that has become vapid and self-serving, this diary functions as my very small attempt at preserving some of the music, spirit, and recollections that for me, dangle precariously over the precipice of becoming lost to time and taste. Sounds like a pointless exercise in nostalgia, doesn't it? Or perhaps just some pathetic old fart reliving his youth. Well, it's neither really. Rather, I see it as a way of reflecting on where we've come from, in order to use that information as a yardstick for gauging the quality of where we've arrived. That said, I contend that much of today's music has lost it's heart and soul, as well as the arc of life. Radio on the other hand is being programmed by business men, not music men. My only objective here is to uphold the qualities that I believe have been eroded. The site's intention and it's name are then a fitting metaphor, giving renewed flight to 'birds with broken wings.' I hope you'll find something within these pages to your liking and consider leaving behind a comment.' BIRDSWITHBROKENWINGS ©2007
